Taiwan continues its push towards renewable technologies. The Taiwan Power Research Institute (TPRI) is now looking into redox flow electrical storage in a new project.

TPRI is an entity under Taiwan Power Co., the state-owned utility most commonly known as Taipower. Through a series of demonstration projects, TPRI is experimenting with ways to control peak demand and smooth out the variability of renewables such as solar.

The Sumitomo Electric Industries battery will be tested with electricity generated by solar panels, wind turbines and diesel generators. TPRI ordered the redox flow battery from Sumitomo Electric in May 2016. Installation of the system was completed in February 2017.

In an online statement, the Japanese company said it would continue to back TPRI’s energy storage demonstration projects, but did not provide additional details.

Osaka-based Sumitomo Electric has supplied utility-scale storage solutions for a number of renewables-related demonstration projects in recent years. In 2013, it agreed to provide a 60 MWh vanadium redox flow battery for a substation operated by Japanese utility Hokkaido Electric Power, to regulate transmission of PV and wind capacity.

And in early 2014, Sumitomo Electric’s parent paired a 10 MW solar project in Osaka with the first energy storage system in the world to run on used lithium-ion batteries pulled from electric vehicles.

Combining solar panels with batteries to keep electricity flowing when the sun isn't shining has long been the target for companies dabbling in the emerging technologies of the power grid.

This year is seeing more development in that space than ever before, thanks to falling battery and solar prices, the marketing prowess of super-entrepreneur Elon Musk, and national and international clean-energy and climate-change policies.

The clean-energy boom is about to be transformed. In a surprise move, U.S. lawmakers agreed to extend tax credits for solar and wind for another five years. This will give an unprecedented boost to the industry and change the course of deployment in the U.S.

The extension will add an extra 20 gigawatts of solar power—more than every panel ever installed in the U.S. prior to 2015, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). The U.S. was already one of the world's biggest clean-energy investors. This deal is like adding another America of solar power into the mix.
